September 13th, a storm raged in Chaoyang City.
The city gates were particularly oppressive after nightfall, with only the noisy sound of rain to be heard.
The long street was deserted. Suddenly, a group of people and horses raced down it. They moved swiftly but without a sound. Clad in black armor with long knives at their belts, they almost became shadows as they moved through the streets in the darkness, difficult to see with the naked eye.
The countless vague shadows in the sky hinted at the immense size of this group.
The already sparse lights extinguished one by one as they passed, shrouding every place they stepped in darkness. Eventually, in silence, they arrived outside a mansion. From a bird's eye view, the hazy shadows enveloped the entire mansion, leaving no room for escape.
A sign was hanging above the mansion's entrance, inscribed with the word: "Xunyang".
